Farm Labor High Will Tempt Labor
What farmers are willing to pay for labor in Minnesota is being found out by P. L. French, secretary of the Minnesota Farm Bureau Federation. Through the county agents Mr. French is gathering statements from farmers as to what they regard fair wages.
Reports from 82 counties widely distributed iiave been received. These show that for general work by the day farmers fix the wage on an average at $3.15; for work by the month for 8 months, $68 86; for work at haying by the day, $3.80; shocking', $4 30; threshing, $4 35; fall work $3.35; corn picking, per bushel, 8 cents; winter work per month, $44. To these wages room and board should be added,
Labor is going to be tempted to leave the city for the farm, thinks Mr, French, inasmuch as such Wages with room and board added give the laborer more than he can earn, according to the present scale, in the cities.

China�s Poor Starve As Rice Is Exported
(By United Press.)
Shanghai, July 13: Profiteering has hit the uncounted millions of China�s poor, and famine threatens.
There is a rice shortage here that has created a condition which may be mildly described as acute. It is really to be described only in the superlative.
Daily the 'Settlement�s police forces receive word of the discovery of dead bodies of men, women and children evident victims of starvation, being found by roadsides where they have 'been left because of families too stricken by poverty to pay for proper burial and trusting to the humanity of the foreign population to conduct the accustomed lites.
Excessive export of rice to Japan is blamed by the Chinese for the hunger of the people in this country. Whether this Is true or whether a �corner� exists is what the authorities are attempting to discover.
Quotations on rice rose, a few days ago, to the unprecedented hefght of $11 a picul�approximately 133 pounds. As a result the Chinese authorities in the Native City of 'Shanghai have opened two rice exchanges where the food, which is the chief sustenance of the native population, is being sold for $7 a picul.
Similar conditions exist today throughout China and the outcome of the official investigation now pending may have a far reaching effect on the future of the Chinese Republic.
